That's why when Krispy Kreme opens a location in New York's Times Square early next year, it will feature the world's largest Hot Light.
That won't be the only unique component of the 24-hour, 4,500-square-foot retail space, which will sit at the corner of Broadway and 48th Street. The location's "doughnut theater experience" will showcase the doughnut making process from end-to-end, from the mixing of ingredients to running the tasty treats through a glaze "waterfall."
Oh, and if you get hungry and want to eat one (or a box?) of them, there will be stadium-style seating in the shop so you'll have great seats to view the whole show, because this location will be on Broadway, after all.
Krispy Kreme predicts the Times Square shop will serve more guests annually than any other of its locations in the world.
The grand openings of Krispy Kreme locations can create a frenzy. When the chain opened up its first location in Ireland last year, more than 300 people were lined up at 7 a.m. at the doughnut chain's location in Dublin. This location also featured a 24-hour drive-thru, which created its own set of problems.

HERESY! You, my fellow FReeper, need a taste-bud adjustment. In the good ole days when I was young, I would eat a dozen at one sitting! BEST DOUGHNUTS EVER.
YES - must be hot. Never buy them in the box from Kroger or your local convenience store.
Yeah but theyve had a comeback and
part of a snacking combine

“Midnight Cownoy” was an X-rated movie. I doubt that’s what you meant, though.
Cowboy. Jeez. Does autocorrect just cause typos?
As a kid, I had a morning paper route and I typically got up at 3am. Along my route was a bakery that would open 4-5am. Sometimes I would stop for an early morning donut - still warm...and THE most delicious donuts I’ve ever eaten.
John Holmes was a major porno star of the 70s. Actually they say he made the medium mainstream, if that is at all what it is, and thanks a lot to him, Ugh.
He was made famous to the general public by the murders he got dragged into. See Wonderland the movie, pretty interesting.
Boy those were some really seedy days in NY.
Yes. Autocorrect causes typos
You've obviously never had a hot, fresh Round Rock Donut, have you?
Ew ... no.
Round Rock Donuts ... there is no substitute.
It was the first Hollywood movie to get an X-rating. Pretty tame though, hardly porn.
No, I always preferred the Times Square of my extreme youth to the Disney horror it is today. And don’t kid yourself, the same creeps are all over that area. I believe it must have been built on Indian burial ground!
Bob Ballaban still hangs around? I guess that recurring “Seinfeld” role kept him in New York quite a bit. ;)
Yeah, but the Wonderland murders were in LA.
Maybe I’ll watch that again.
DePalma’s”Greeting” and Polanski’s “ Rosemary’s Baby” we’re earlier. “Midnight Cowboy” was the first X rated film to recieve a Best Picture Academy Award.
Good point.
But I still remember all those seedy marquis around NY.
Never been the Rotten Apple. When I was 12 or13 (1973)we took a family vacation to San Francisco. Dad made a point of driving through the red light district at night. Straight out of “Dirty Harry.”
I love how in Long Beach the Krispy Kreme was build next to the Police station.
